Do you minmax like a faggot or try to make a realistic stat distribution?
Is it possible in BG2 to make a fighter-class that uses dex for melee combat?
>>336350020
To answer OP: I don't dumb stats but I aim for at least 16 in my class' important stats.
>>336351156
All fighters use dex for melee combat
>>336351534
>>336351156
I think he means using dex instead of str to calculate hit and damage
as far as I know you can't, dex is for ranged weapons only
dex also improves your AC
>>336350020

>>336356519

>>336356519
>barely any character statistics listed
>THAC0
What the fuck is that and why is it so important?
>>336356960
To Hit Armor Class 0
>>336356960
it basically means attack bonus or whatever, except it goes backwards, like AC goes backwards in these games as well. it's not complicated desu
>>336356960
It's the basic hit chance. THAC0 at 16 gives you a 5/20 (25%) chance to hit. Enemy positive armor class gives a 1/20 (5%) bonus per point, negative armor class gives a 1/20 penalty to hit.
>>336356960
The minimum roll of a 20-sided dice you need to hit a person who has armor class 0
>>336356519
>elf
>>336353068
I don´t think that there is an option like a feat that gives you Dex to attack rolls with a least some weapons in 2e. Weapon finesse was first introduced in 3.5.

I'd like to roleplay but half these D&D based RPGs are impossible to complete, or at least extremely difficult if you don't do what each game wants
Haven't played Baldur's Gate still tho
>>336362596
Necromancy if you don't want divination spells.
Literally dump it all in INT.
>>336362861
Baldur's gate is not really that bad in that regard, if you go by the stereotypical trope of a fighter, healer, wizard and rogue.
>>336362861
by roleplay do you mean do dumb shit? because there isn't really much dumb shit to do. you can play an ineffective character if you turn down the difficulty I guess

is a dual class mage any good?
>>336363982
Yes, almost any class dualing into mage will be good. Multiclass too.
>>336363637
You don't need a pure thief or cleric
>>336364216
Pure thief or clerics are decent enough for a first playthrough.
>>336364216
I'm going for dorf warrior/rogueI don't know what to dual a cleric to thoughI already have a fighter/cleric in another playthrough
>>336364170
I'm probably going for a multiclass mage then, sounds good
>>336363982
mages only exist to dispel spell protections on other mages and cast haste on your berserkers
So, what is the overall verdict on SoD?
I am still playing with my own BGT mod installation. Worth upgrading to SoD?
>>336364402
You can go for ranger/cleric, they get cleric and druid spells

nigga, anything below 90 total roll is unrealistic for charname

>>336366484
Too bad most of the enemy NPCs have much higher stats than charname.
>>336350020
Roll for 87 then distribute 17-16-15-14-13-12 depending on the character. Good enough for any class without making the rest of the party worthless.
>>336364658
so you can hit them with your berserkers
>>336366894
Why not just cast Cloudkill?
>>336367031
because it'll hit your guys and probably isn't a fast way to kill stuff
>>336350020
>18 str/con for a fem sword-weaboo
Stick to min maxing realism's already gone
>>336367172
Then you cast more cloudkill. And add some cloudkill on top of those.
>>336366887
>Good enough for any class
Enjoy never casting the highest level spells
>>336367324
then you have to wait like 10 rounds for it to work, and then rest after?
>>336367397
that's not how the bg engine works dickface
>>336367406
Wand of cloudkill. With six mages, you can do six cloudkills per turn by switching the wand between them.
>>336367550
then the wand expires?
and surely for that you'd be better off with 6___bards
>>336367685
>Not having 6 thieves with Use Any Item reading scrolls of CLK
>>336367685
If you run into encounters with enough mages that you need more than 50 casts of cloudkills before you can refill your wand, you are doing it wrong.
>>336367814
how do you refill a wand
>>336368164
You just sell it and buy it back. Doing that gives Wand of Fire 50 charges and Wand of Magic Missile 100 charges. You should never have to waste spell slots on spells you have on wands.
>>336368304
ty. I'm a massive baldur's gate faggot and I didn't know that, somehow
>>336363719
No, more banter.
>>336368304
>You should never have to waste spell slots on spells you have on wands.
That depends on the wand's spell level, though.
Not quite sure about BG numbers, but in NWN usually wand of MM is only slvl3, so only fires 2 missiles. I think I even seen wands in BG that only fired a single missile.
Sometimes wands are just weak and aren't even worth using.

Yeah, no.
>>336350020
>realistic stat distribution?
The player character is a child and heir to the God of Death.
Having 18 con and 18 (class relevant stat) actually is realistic stat distribution for such a person.
>>336364938
The original version made enough sense to me.
Irenicus and his cohorts captured you after the events of BG1, and brought you to his underground rape dungeon for more experiments.
>>336369129
?
It's like you never watched the intro of BG2
>>336369209
That doesn't necessarily make you superhuman.
Asimar and Tieflings have divine/demonic blood in them, and it's only like a +2 bonus.

Here's your canon bg

>>336371475
>Having 18/29 STR in 2e is literally superhuman. It's not possible to get that strong without magic.
...no? A fighter, ranger, or paladin who rolls an 18 for strength also rolls a percentage die. That's what the 29 in 18/29 is.
There's nothing magical about it, it's just that the classes who depend most on the strength stat get further gradation within that stat.
>>336372708
>nigger tries to steal my wallet on the streets

His plan and motivations were pretty simple and understandable. It's more like plot armor that you don't just die after a long time without your divine essence.
>>336350020
REMOVE CHARISMA
>>336373272
His plan relied on copious amount of luck and complete lack of brain functions in people around him.
Where the fuck can I spend gold in Baldur's Gate? I must be right at the end of the game and haven't found anything worth buying (finished Durlag's, in the process of gathering evidence against serevok).

What does /v/ think of romances? Are they good for character development? Should they also allow for just friendship?
In BG1EE, there's a part where Dorn will essentially judge each of your current party member's individually based their trustworthiness. Anyone know where I can view/listen to that dialogue for all party members?
>>336376919
maybe dig through the sound files
>>336376641
I wouldn't mind it if it actually felt like you were interacting with someone instead of clicking the not asshole comment until romance is secured. That is, it feels weird as fuck that nearly any character, regardless of race (restrictions are so minimal they are barely even there), alignment, looks, class, attributes, whatever, can just click those same answers and get the same outcome. Hell, they don't even really care what you do in the game in general aside from a few trap scenarios.
>Should they also allow for just friendship?
Yes. Or no. Depends on the character. There is no one right way to do it.
>>336376641
I think character interaction in general is good. I'd like it if the romance was kept to a minimum, so most of the writing can be other stuff
>>336374835
>being godly gay
>>336370342
Did you get the dagger?
>>336377962
No, but I ended up reloading and pickpocketing him for the hammer he's supposed to give you. I don't think the dagger even dropped.
>>336377557
It's usually more interesting when all character interaction doesn't stop after you romance someone except for one or two lines.
>>336378387
damn I thought you weren't supposed to get anything
how's the hammer?
>>336378387
That dagger is required for quest continuing. Get back to the Durlag tower.

Your Stalker has garbage stats. No exceptional strength on someone capable of it? No 18 con even though he would benefit from the +4 hp / level?
>>336373116
But that doesn't happen in Murica.
>>336378798
You sure? I've already killed the demonknight and the cultists + that demon thing they summon and the dagger doesn't seem to be lying around anywhere.

>>336379269

Katanas are OP in Baldur's Gate.
1 handed weapon that does 1d10 damage? That's nuts.
Also, the best weapon in BG2 is a katana.
>>336379841
No you idiot. Weapon power list:
1. Carsomyr
2. Crom faeyr
3. Flail of ages
4. That katana
4th strongest weapon doesn't seem so OP.
>>336379090

>Katana
>The katana is a single-edged, slightly curved sword that ends with a chisel point. The katana is perhaps one of the finest swords ever made, the steps to its creation a long and secret process, that is more art form than anything else. This blade is an important facet of Kara-Tur culture. To touch or wield a samurai's katana is to insult the samurai and to incite his wrath. For a gaijin, or foreigner, to own such a blade is a rare occurrence. Either the gaijin is a greatly honored friend of an important minister, or the gaijin has murdered a samurai.
>>336350020
Minmax all day every day.
Realistic stat distribution is a concept intended with a human DM in mind, who will alter encounters accordingly - both for RP and Combat.
With a predetermined enemy, not going for the best is objectively shooting yourself in the foot.
>>336381591
>>336381859
Not to mention with a human DM you aren't going to be allowed to pull points from other stats and stick them elsewhere.
What the fuck is wrong with my game?
>>336381090
Not having a 18/00 hurts me far more than weeb katana kensai shit
send help reee
>>336382964
Getting 18/00 str takes hours of rerolling.
I usually aim for at least 18/50+. It'll become 19 in BG1 anyway thanks to the tome of str.
>>336382897
I remember some anon having a very similar problem not too long ago. If my memory serves me right enabling Software Standard BLT in the Graphics options fixed it.
>>336383182
Does it help with literally empty journal, though?
>>336382897
You speak some 3rd world language. That's what's wrong.
Is the 18/00 a 2.0 thing? What happens if you have 19 STR?
>>336383249
Just save yourself the trouble and install EE instead.
>>336383312
18/00 is an original D&D thing.
>>336383312
You just have 19 strength. Exceptional strength (the percentile) only exists to give a greater range for most player race warriors without letting them have 19 which is meant to be beyond human capability. From 3E onward everything just uses +1/-1 modifier for every 2 points above/below 10.
>>336383648
So why is it only strength that can be exceptional? Were the people who made D&D retarded?
>>336383845
>So why is it only strength that can be exceptional?
Because there needed to be a difference between warrior classes and non-warrior classes when it came to strength.
I haven't played this game since it was released in the late 90s. My longterm memory is pretty bad so it would be like a new game now. I don;t think I could sit in front of a computer though. Anybody play the tablet version? How bad are the controls?

>>336384224
>I don;t think I could sit in front of a computer though
>>336383312
19 Strength means you effectively have something like 22 or 24 strength. 18 is 18, 18/01 is 19, 18/100 is A LOT. 19 is that number +1, 20 is +1 more, and it basically goes on like normal after that.
I have no idea what were they smoking and why only one stat has this bullshit at only one number.

Normalizing stats across classes i is one of the many, many things that 3E did that completely fucked martial classes over because it gave previously martial-only benefits to classes that weren't martials.

>>336384983
They could do something like add a rule saying "this class has been pumping so much weight to get to this level, he now always has +1 Str no matter what his score is". Instead, you have to find and then roll a 100-sided die to determine if you get something like +25% to your strength out of the bag, or you are fucked and get just a measly +1 for picking Warrior.
It's not like anybody can get to 19 Str normally, and if you find an artifact that lets you, you get 19 Str regardless of if you are a martial class or a wizard.

I tailor everything to my preferences to archive maximal efficiency in any game I play.
So when do spells get good? What buffs are even useful? It seems like 90% of these spells and buffs are situational as fuck.
>>336388815
Haste (3rd level mage) is useful as fuck.
Bless (1st level cleric/druid) and Chant (2nd level cleric) are both good for the entirety of the trilogy.
Mirror Image (2nd level mage) is a good all-purpose buff.
Ghost Armor (3rd level mage) and Spirit Armor (4th level mage) are great for Fighter/Mage multiclass.
There's a lot of good buffs at all levels. These are just the ones that immediately leapt to mind.

Bless lasts about half a battle though, and while haste is pretty good you end up needing to rest every five seconds to reapply it early game.

So it is spoken. So shall it be.
Where do I find good portraits?
>>336389667
You make them yourself.
>>336388815
If you play the game for the first time, spells won't do you much good. It's only after you know the game and it's mechanics when find out that even some of the lowest circle spells are awesome and you can use or abuse them pretty much all game.
>>336389950
But what if I can't draw?
>>336390749
Steal artwork.
>>336390957
From whom?
I can't stand boring cunts that max stats like that. I allow myself to max one key stat - the rest have to be rolled for.
>>336389667
Old forums and repositories
>>336389492
If you use haste that much you aren't very good at the game.
There's only a handful of encounters in the entire game where haste is pretty much required.
>>336391530
Any links?
>>336388000
>>336391849
I'm talking of general dungeon crawls, I don't wish to rest at all within a dungeon.

>something like 14 would be considered 'ridiculously strong'.
Compared to an average human, yes. Compared specifically to other fighters, 14 strength is good but not exceptional.
>>336392127
I never do. And I never need to spam haste either.
I don't use haste at all during Durlag's Tower until the death knight.
>>336392214
Guess I need to "git gud" I probably just go through encounters wrong.
>>336350020
minxmax because the game is literally 99% combat and many enemies are op as fuck
Any way to make major money in BG2? I need that cash for those OP weapons.
>>336392938
You get a pretty good amount of money doing any of the quests to get your stronghold.
Doing the shit in Trademeet gets you a lot too.
Honestly, just play the game and you'll have more money than you know what to do with.
>>336393078
What classes do I need for each stronghold?
Do certain classes not get ones?
Can I get one if I'm dual classed?
If so can I get one for two classes?
>>336392938
Do quests
>>336393264
But my weapons aren't OP enough!
>>336393257
can you just play the game instead
>>336393372
Wait until later in the game to actually buy weapons. You will find alot on your own.
>20 STR at first level
>>336393257
Every class has a stronghold except barbs and monks.
>>336393615
Do dual classes get them? Will I only get the stronghold for one class?
>>336393724
You can only have one stronghold.
>>336393257
>>336393724
Install the multi stronghold mod. It lets you collect every single one.
The quests are fun, and it adds to the game in my opinion.
>>336350020
A Bhaalspawn's stats should be way above an average dude's. Sarevok had 95 points. Abdel Adrian, the shitty but still canon BG protagonist was over seven feet tall and regenerated faster than a troll. Think I went until I got 97 total then fed the PC all the stat tomes. There are way too many Wisdom tomes but I guess casting Wish will be fun later on.
My PC was a dual katana weaboo monster all through BG1, then dual classed to Mage and instantly went from best to worst in the party. Just about to regain my Kensai levels at the end of SoD and probably break the game's difficulty all through BG2.
>>336394361
>playing SoD
Shoulda skipped that garbage.
>>336393507
Literally impossible in BG1
>>336394361
Do you start bg2 with 500000xp now?
>>336392938
It's called quaff multiple pots of master thievery and literally steal everything in sight and fence it to thieves
You can also steal from the thieves and fence them again
>>336392841
>op as fuck
I started steamrolling everything at mid game with a non min maxed character and canon party
How does wish work in BG?
>>336394914
gives you random choices, but what you can get is restricted by your wisdom.
>>336394897
Install AI mods. Allow enemy mages to prebuff.
Come back later.
>>336394782
Ah, it was 19. My bad, I haven't played BG1 in quite some time.
>>336395015
>>336394914
Aka have a potion of wisdom handy if you plan to use it.
>>336394687
Some of the new items are nice and carry over to BG2. Story's pretty mediocre but I couldn't pass up more Irenicus and some of the encounters are really good. The few hard ones that aren't easily resolved with two Cloudkills or Fireball spam I mean.
>>336394795
SoD caps at 500k so yeah you can start BG2 at like level 11 or 12 for most classes.
>>336394795
If you just create a character in BG2 they'll have i think 89,000 xp.
>>336395227
How can new items carry over to BG2 when you start BG2 with literally nothing?
>>336396158
Originally if you imported a BG1 save into BG2, certain items from BG1 can be found in a chest later on in Irenicus' dungeon. If you import a SoD save, most of the new SoD items will appear in BG2, but as drops on various enemies. Example some of the Shaman gear can be found in the Sewers I think.

Interesting, I normally don't go neutral, you have a reason why?
